​

As last year, a more than bracing wind greeted runners in the second half of this morning’s 'Miles and Barr' Alan Green Memorial 10 mile race! But many congratulations to all today’s runners, and huge thanks to all our supporters – our main race sponsors Miles and Barr, as well as Thanet District Council, Sweatshop Maidstone, Tesco, Gadds Brewery, Ramsgate, Thanet Constabulary, RAYNET, Margate Ambulance services – and to all our marshals and drinks station attendants. We are also pleased to be able to donate at least £1 from each entry to the Pilgrims Hospices in Margate, our charity for this year’s race.

Jodi Hanagan was out and about clicking away on course – photos will be available shortly to view and purchase from her website on http://www.jodihanaganphotography.com/p366579654. She’s offering digital files for £4 and a 6x4 print for £5 but only for a limited 48 hour period from the gallery going live. After that a digital file will be £5.50 and a 6x4 print £6.50.

Please could all runners rate the race and if they wish leave any comments on Runners World – it helps us and also any prospective runners in the future.

Michael Coleman from South Kent Harriers won for the second year running, to claim the win in 55 mins 4 secs – quicker than last year! Cambridge Harriers’ Robert Jackaman was runner up in 55.45, three minutes ahead of Deal Tri’s Damien Coleman. Hope Sloly of Mornington Chasers was first female home in 69.23, 90 secs clear of Emma Hollands from Paddock Wood. Rebel Runners’ Eloise Smith was third, another three minutes back in 73.52.

Hope to see many of you again next year, if not at one of our other races! Next up is the annual curtain raiser the Mountain Bike Duathlon on 17th January, for which entries are now open.

We had a great showing from club members, even with many working behind the scenes supporting race director John Hunt – over 40 TRACcies were racing, with lots of first timers out! Owen Mitchell, Bradley Cameron and Chris Brenchley all made the top 8, with Chris second v40, while Dave Winch was first v60. Becky Williams and Sara Sutton were the first two TRAC ladies home, respectively 4th in the v35 and v45. Full TRAC results below:
